Lemon Chicken Caesar Wrap
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 6 or 8 cutlets
- 1½ cups seasoned bread crumbs
- ⅔ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tsp. freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 to 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 4 wraps or large tortillas
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Ingredients for Caesar Lemon Dressing:
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 Tbsp. greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp. finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbsp. dijon mustard
- 2 tsp. red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp. freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 tsp. anchovy paste
- ½ lemon, juiced
- To taste kosher salt and pepper
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
- FOR THE DRESSING: Add garlic, yogurt, Parmesan, mustard, vinegar, anchovy paste, lemon juice, lemon zest and a big pinch of salt and pepper to a food processor or blender and blend until pureed. With the processor still on, stream in the olive oil until a creamy dressing forms.
- FOR THE CHICKEN: Thinly slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to make thin chicken cutlets. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Place the eggs in a shallow plate or bowl. Stir together the breadcrumbs, lemon zest and Parmesan in another plate or bowl. Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere. Add the chicken two to three pieces at a time. Cook on each side until deeply golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Check the chicken for doneness; it should reach an internal temperature of 165 F. Remove each piece of chicken and place it on the paper-towel-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- TO ASSEMBLE WRAPS: Heat a tortilla in the microwave for 10 seconds. Place a handful of lettuce in the center of wrap. Top it with a few pieces of chicken. Drizzle on 1 to 2 tablespoons of caesar dressing. Top with Parmesan cheese. Fold up the top and the bottom of the tortilla, and then roll the sides in tightly to wrap it up.
- Serve with extra dressing for dipping.
